Just for your information I received an e’mailed response from the aptly named Operations Director “John Kitchen” – can you believe that! 😀 – it’s like Arsene Wenger being the manager of Arsenal FC!!!
– anyway it reads as follows …..
“I am pleased you enjoyed the exhibits and I can understand your disappointment with regard to the catering.
We were surprised by the number of visitors, even though we had anticipated much interest after the opening of Milestones.
Please accept my apologies – I hope we do better should you visit again.”
– must agree with the sentiments expressed here.
Visited Hendon with grown up nephew, his girlfriend & my two kids on the 29.12.03 had a look round the new exhibits then thought we’d get a bite to eat…….
….. after queuing for an eternity found the menu to be almost an African version of a classic …. “Cous cous with everything” !!!
After a quick “huddle” we walked away. A potentially brilliant day spoilt. I have e’mailed Hendon via their website; should I get a worthy response I’ll copy it onto the forum.
And a Very Happy New Year to all !!!! :p 😀

Done 😮
Q: Why do women get married in white?
A: To match all of the other kitchen appliances :p 😀 🙂
I’m sorry, but this one just had to come back up!?! (no pun intended)
– What if beer was available at work?…..
1. It’s an incentive to show up.
2. It leads to more honest communications.
3. It reduces complaints about low pay.
4. Employees tell management what they think, not what they want to hear.
5. It encourages car pooling.
6. Increase job satisfaction because if you have a bad job, you don’t
care.
7. It eliminates vacations because people would rather come to work.
8. It makes fellow employees look better.
9. It makes the cafeteria food taste better.
10. Bosses are more likely to hand out raises when they are wasted.
11. Salary negotiations are a lot more profitable.
12. Employees work later since there’s no longer a need to relax at the
bar.
13. It makes everyone more open with their ideas.
14. Eliminates the need for employees to get drunk on their lunch break.
15. Employees no longer need coffee to sober up.
16. Sitting “Bare ass” on the copy machine will no longer be seen as
gross.
Oh & if you’ve made it this far, here are a few more ……

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers. One
afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his
buddy Norm. Here’s how it went:
“Well ya see, Norm, it’s like this… A herd of buffalo can only move as
fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the
slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural
selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and
health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the
weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as
fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know,
kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain
cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the
weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
That’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”
– makes complete sense to me

Born in Hong Kong (hence the flag) then Bishops Stortford, Stamford – I remember Whirlwinds, Hunters & Harriers from Wittering & Argosy’s, Canberas & Tornado’s from Cottesmore.
Then off to Northampton – what a dump! Then onto Nottingham – what a brilliant place! Ended up moving back down to Hertfordshire & now residing in Hoddesdon. – spending all my back garden time watching Ryanair, sleazy jet et al on approach to Stansted.
